Conference Description

This conference will focus on Critical Infrastructure Protection and Recovery (CIPR) and how systems engineering supports the analysis, planning, and development of resilient systems. The Conference will provide an opportunity for authors to communicate their knowledge and best practices as systems engineering practitioners involved in CIPR-related government, commercial, and academic areas. Papers, tutorials, and panel sessions will be will be peer reviewed, scored, and judged on a range of parameters, including usable information or insight into the systems engineering community, clarity of expression, effective communication of ideas, technical depth, and substantiation of concepts. Papers must be written and presented in English, the official language of the SEDC 2016. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

Affordability & Cost/Benefit Analysis

Agile Systems Engineering

assessment & risk management processes

Cloud computing

Cyber security methods

Education & Training
